A current judgment enabling Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & & Fort to continue representing Google in antitrust lawsuits, in spite of not looking for a waiver from previous customer Yelp, reveals it takes more than declaring a fundamental customer dispute to get a big company started a case.
Nonparties Yelp and News/Media Alliance had actually submitted a movement to disqualify the Am Law 50 company, with Yelp arguing that it maintained Paul Weiss in 2016 to offer legal counsel on numerous antitrust matters. That representation, Yelp argued, consisted of interactions in between counsel and federal antitrust enforcement authorities concerning Google’s company practices and how that declared conduct affected Yelp’s company choices, according to the viewpoint submitted Oct. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
